I've been not as excited about this one because I prefer books about girls, but I'll have to pick it up now.pienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-17559106514173943492011-03-10T18:28:31.397-07:002011-03-10T18:28:31.397-07:00SOLD!

I'm glad I'm not behind. :)<br /><br />Laura (and everyone else!): Alexa, the woman who did this review, is currently in the process of moving back to the U.K. and just got her internet turned off today, so she asked me to let you know that she loved FINNIKIN. Also, you should know that Alexa has reviewed loads of Melina's books on her website, and has a very recent interview with Melina on the site, too. Her site is found at www.notenoughbookshelves.com. I love Alexa's reviews, and not just because she uses lots of British phrases. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754456360798018533.post-24543117209868907002011-03-10T12:47:27.532-07:002011-03-10T12:47:27.532-07:00Yes, Laura, as Kim said, we're always thrilled...Yes, Laura, as Kim said, we're always thrilled when someone likes this site enough to tell their friends about it!

I can't believe I haven't read THE PIPER'S SON yet! Wonderful review, Alexa!<br /><br />Laura: I loved FINNIKIN. Even though I haven't read all of Melina Marchetta's books (JELLICOE ROAD, for example, which I've heard so much good stuff about), I think she is an amazing writer.

I've got a copy of Saving Francesca just waiting to be read, but now that I know it's a two part deal, it's even more exciting.<br />As a somewhat unrelated question, have any of you ladies ever read Finnikin of the Rock by Melina?Laura Howardhttp://www.laurahoward78.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
